17-9-10: Argentina keep producing 'new Maradonas' and one of the latest off the production line is Mauro Formica of Newell's Old Boys.
The 22-year-old wears the number 10, but has only represented his country at U17 level so far.
West Ham tried to tie up a deal with Newell's Old Boys before the last transfer deadline, but now it's understood terms have been agreed on a deal that will cost the Hammers US$5m and see Formica move to Upton Park in January.
31-1-11: Midfielder Mauro Formica has joined Blackburn from Newell's Old Boys for an undisclosed fee on a three-and-a-half-year deal.
"Mauro is a fantastic talent, an attacking player who has been in great demand," Kean told Rovers' official website.
"He has great technical ability and is a typical Argentinian with a bit of fight and a bit of devilment in him."
